Standard roman blind, lined (RB1)

A structured contemporary and popular blind style. The blind appears flat when down with no visible sewn seams except for wide width blinds that may require vertical fabric joins. Sits in a neat folded stack when blind is raised.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Solid plain or pattern fabrics you want to showcase. For wider width blinds, print fabric will be expertly pattern matched where vertical fabric joins are required. For butting windows installed on the same window or bay windows, fabric pattern flow can be provided on request. Additional fabric metreage may be required.

Velvets are not suitable for main fabric or bands. For light coloured sheers a RB4 style with sewn sides or a RB5 style is recommended. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

• Lining:
  This blind style is always lined. Lining is built into the structure of the blind and battens are sewn into back pockets in the lining. Our standard blind includes 3 pass blockout stiffened ivory lining. Other lining options available include: 3 pass non-stiffened white or ivory lining, 1 pass off white or ivory lining, translucent polyester neutral lining.

• Sizing:
  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop.

Front batten roman blind, lined (RB2)

A classic lined blind style with thin battens stitched into horizontal fabric pockets seen on the front side of the blind. The fabric pockets sit at the intermediate (base edge of each stack) when the blind is stacked.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Solid plain or pattern fabrics where horizontal joins wont interrupt the pattern. Works well with vertical stripe fabrics. Avoid horizontal stripes. For wider width blinds, print fabric will be expertly pattern matched where vertical fabric joins are required. For butting windows installed on the same window or bay windows, fabric pattern flow can be provided on request. Additional fabric metreage may be required.

Velvets are not suitable for main fabric or band. For light coloured sheers a RB4 style with sewn sides or a RB5 style is recommended. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

Full panel roman blind, lined or unlined (RB4)

A modern blind style with horizontal seams sewn in face fabric at all folds and visible at the intermediate (base edge of each stack) when the blind is raised. This style provides you with a soft roman if using sheer or lightweight fabrics without lining. Alternatively use this style with solid fabrics and stiffened 3 pass lining to create a firmer structured roman with horizontal seams.
This blind style is ideal for wider width windows if you’d like to avoid vertical fabric joins.
For an unlined RB4 blind, battens are sewn into back pockets of the main fabric at the base and top of each stack, giving the blind more structure than our other soft roman blind style RB6. Side edges of blinds can be sewn on request, if prefer to avoid tape.
For a lined RB4 blind, battens are sewn into the lining at the base and top of each stack.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Suitable for solid, sheer or lightweight fabrics. Select a preferably plain fabric, where horizontal seams will not interrupt the fabric pattern. For wide width windows, select a wide width fabric or fabric that can be railroaded to avoid vertical seams from fabric joins. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

• Lining:
  If adding lining to the RB4 style blind, our standard lining is 3 pass blockout stiffened lining in ivory colour. Other lining options available include: 3 pass non-stiffened white or ivory lining, 1 pass off white or ivory lining, translucent polyester neutral lining.

• Sizing:
  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop. Stack ups and batten spacing will be calculated based on total drop of blind and customer styling requirements specified to BQ. Front stacks range from 27.5cm to 33.5cm.

Half panel roman blind, lined or unlined (RB5)

A similar style to our full panel roman blind (RB4) but the intermediate (base edge of each stack) is a soft fold without a seam. Hence this style has less horizontal seams than the RB4 style blind. When the blind is fully stacked horizontal seams can not be seen.
Like the RB4 style, this blind is ideal for wider width windows if you’d like to avoid vertical fabric joins.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  This is the most suitable structured roman blind style, when using sheer or lightweight fabrics and a lined blind is required. This style can also be used with solid fabrics.
  Select a preferably plain fabric, where horizontal seams will not interrupt the fabric pattern. For wide width windows, select a wide width fabric that can be railroaded to avoid vertical seams from fabric joins. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

• Lining:
  This blind style is usually made lined but can be unlined on request. Our standard lined RB5 blind includes 3 pass blockout stiffened lining in ivory colour. Other lining options available include: 3 pass non-stiffened white or ivory lining, 1 pass off white or ivory lining, translucent polyester neutral lining.

• Sizing:
  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop. Stack ups and batten spacing will be calculated based on total drop of blind and customer styling requirements specified to BQ. Front stacks range from 27.5cm to 33.5cm.

Soft gather roman blind
(RB6 unlined, RB7 lined)

Blinds are made with a vertical stitching line in middle and both sides of blind, in colour matched thread at position of blind cords on back side. Wide width blinds may have multiple evenly spaced vertical stitching lines where cords are positioned.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  The RB6 unlined roman blind style is recommended for sheer or lightweight fabrics and is made without lining.
  The RB7 lined roman blind style is recommended for solid fabrics and is made with lining. Fabric suitability should be discussed with BQ before proceeding. For wider width blinds, print fabric will be expertly pattern matched where vertical fabric joins are required. For butting windows installed on the same window or bay windows, fabric pattern flow can be provided on request. Additional fabric metreage may be required. Visit Customer Login for further fabric suitability info or contact BQ.

• Lining:
  If adding lining to your soft roman, our standard lining for the RB7 style blind is translucent polyester lining in a neutral colour. Other lining options available include: 3 pass non-stiffened white or ivory lining and 1 pass off white or ivory lining.

  Maximum size is 340cm wide x 300cm drop. BQ Design’s production warranty does not apply to blinds greater than 300cm wide x 300cm drop.

Shape 1

Channel

Ideal for: bedspreads, quilt covers, throw rugs, bed valances, pillowcases, cushions, wall panels and bedheads.

BQ offer the following channel quilting methods:

• Multi-needle channel quilting
• Frame channel quilting
• Outline channel quilting

The recommended quilting method depends on the size of the finished product, width and fabric (plain or patterned) used and required channel direction. All our channel quilting methods have the same filling and lining options mentioned below. 

Multi-needle channel quilting

Multi-needle quilting is our most common channel quilting method and our most affordable quilting style.

Straight evenly spaced lines are quilted on the length direction of the fabric, to create channels.

• Quilting dimensions:
  The following channel widths are available: 7.5cm, 10cm, 12.5cm, 15cm, 17.5cm, 20cm or 22.5cm. Consider the finished size of your quilted product when deciding channel width. Use for reversible product styles only when fabric joins not required eg: throw rugs. Quilting dimensions are approximates and vary depending on filling weight used.

• Process used:
  The fabric is quilted first in panels approximately 150cm wide and of unlimited length. We then cut, join panels and sew your fabric according to the style and size of your selected product. This ensures fabric joins are concealed in the stitched channel. When joining pattern fabric on wide width products such as bedspreads and quilt covers, perfect pattern match can not always be achieved.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Plain or patterned fabric in standard or wide width where the pattern can be easily joined and pattern matched. Durable medium to heavy weight fabrics preferred. For patterned fabrics with wide pattern repeats or those that can not be easily patterned matched we may suggest channel frame quilting. For patterned fabrics with a horizontal or linear pattern, we suggest outline channel quilting if channels are to perfectly align with the fabric pattern.

• Thread:
  Black or natural colour

Frame channel quilting

Channels can be sewn in a vertical or horizontal direction. Recommended for products using a coloured quilting thread rather than black or natural and for bedspreads and quilt covers using patterned fabric that is not easily pattern matched.

Maximum quilting area is 304cm wide x 279cm length. Some king size bedspreads may need to be outline or multi-needle channel quilted, due to restrictions on the sewing frame size.

• Quilting dimensions:
  The following channel widths are available: 15cm, 20cm, 25cm and 30cm. Consider the finished size of your quilted product when deciding channel width. Quilting dimensions are approximates and vary depending on filling weight used.

• Process used:
  First we cut and join the fabric and then we quilt, providing pattern and quilting match. Fabric joins will be exposed especially on plain fabrics.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Plain and patterned fabrics. Durable medium to heavy weight fabrics preferred. Wide width fabrics are recommended on larger products such as bedspreads and quilt covers, to avoid visible fabric joins. If channel quilting a patterned fabric and fabric joins are required, frame channel quilting may provide better pattern match than multi-needle channel quilting, although fabric joins are likely to be visible rather than hidden in channels as is possible with multi-needle channel quilting . For fabrics with a horizontal or linear pattern, we suggest outline channel quilting if channels are to perfectly align with the fabric pattern.

• Thread:
  Colour matched to suit the main background colour of your fabric.

Outline channel quilting

A straight line of stitching traces along the check or stripe pattern of the fabric, emphasising the fabric pattern and providing greater stitching accuracy as compared to other quilting methods. Recommended for king size bedspreads that may be too large for frame quilting.

• Quilting dimensions:
  Channel width is dependent on the fabric design.

• Process used:
  We cut and join the fabric first and then we quilt, providing pattern and quilting match. Outline quilting is completed by hand by our experienced machinists.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Patterned fabrics with a straight horizontal or linear pattern, and where quilting lines need to exactly follow the fabric pattern to form a quilted channel look. Durable medium to heavy weight fabrics preferred.

• Thread:
  Colour matched to suit the main background colour of your fabric.

Bonded Pelmet

An unpadded pelmet, available in a straight, shape 1 and 3 only.
Made with 4.5mm piping along top and base edge of pelmet, in self or contrast fabric. Piping can be omitted on request.
Fabric is bonded to a strong wood custom made pelmet frame.
Combine with curtains, roman blinds or roller blinds.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Most medium and heavy weight solid fabrics are suitable for pelmets, although linen and viscose blends may stretch over time. Light weight fabrics such as silks and sheers can be used but cotton interlining is recommended and can be supplied by BQ.
  Fabrics can be railroaded on request to avoid joins or consider wide width fabrics to minimise amount of fabric required. If using a patterned fabric, railroading may not be suitable. BQ will expertly pattern match at fabric joins.

• Sizing:
  Provide width, drop and return measurements for either inside box measurements (IBM) or outside box measurements (OBM). Cut-outs can be added to ensure pelmet fits perfectly. Maximum drop is 40cm and maximum size of returns is 20cm. For pelmets over 390cm customer must organise own freight or collection from BQ’s Melbourne workroom. Alternatively, pelmets can be made in two or three pieces. We recommend three pieces to avoid a centre join and interruption to any fabric pattern.

Goblet Pleat

Goblet pleat curtains provide a formal style. If you are furnishing a traditional or stately old home and have a sumptuous fabric a Goblet style heading could be a good option.

BQ use 100mm wide clear buckram for the curtain heading and each goblet is filled with wadding.

For plain or flanged cushions with same pattern fabric used on both sides, some side seams can be pattern matched on request. Additional fabric may be required.

  Select a standard square or rectangle size detailed below or request a customised size. All sizes below exclude flange.

Suitable Fabrics

Plain edges

Unpiped plain quilt cover style.

Fabric can be quilted to add further interest to your quilt cover. Face side only is quilted, unless otherwise requested. View our quilting styles.

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Consider washing instructions, fabric creasing, shrinkage, durability, and softness against the skin when selecting a suitable fabric for your quilt cover. Polyesters, polyester/cotton mixes and pre-shrunk cottons wash well and are common fabrics used for bedding. Natural fabrics such as cottons and linens breath well but may shrink over time if not pre-shrunk. Linens are especially popular for a relaxed look. Sheer and velvet fabrics are not suitable for quilt covers.
  If adding contrast fabric to underside of your quilt cover design consider the composition and behaviour of this fabric as compared to the face fabric. Single sized unquilted bedspreads can be made with standard width (140cm) fabrics. For all other quilt cover sizes, wide width fabrics are recommended to avoid fabric joins.Fabrics will be pattern matched at joins on quilt cover face side. Side seams can be pattern matched on request, if fabric pattern allows. Additional fabric may be required.The following fabric options are available for the underside of the quilt cover: same as face fabric, contrast fabric, customer supplied flat sheet or BQ provided ivory cotton lining.

Pleated Window Valance

Our standard BQ window valance is made with box pleats evenly spaced across the facade and front corners of the window valance. Pleats are positioned approximately 50cm apart depending on total width of window valance and a 15cm headboard projection is used, unless otherwise specified. Maximum drop is 50cm.

Window valances can also be made with a centre pleat and front corner pleats only or with a plain facade and box pleats in front corners only.

The plain facade style is recommended for smaller windows or windows with a blind and window valance in same print fabric.

• Lining Options:
  • cotton supreme lining, in ivory (BQ standard) or off white colour
  • 1 pass lining, in ivory or off white colour
  • 3 pass blockout lining, in ivory or white colour
  • no lining

• Suitable Fabrics:
  Use solid, non sheer light to medium weight fabrics that will form sharp firm permanent pleats when pressed.

Upholstered Pelmet

A padded pelmet, available in straight or shaped styles.
Made with 4.5mm piping along top and base edge of pelmet, in self or contrast fabric. Piping can be omitted on request although it is recommended for shaped pelmets as gives a neater base finish. Piping can also be replaced with decorative cord.
Combine with curtains, roman blinds or roller blinds.

• Suitable fabrics:
  Most medium and heavy weight solid fabrics are suitable for pelmets, although linen and viscose blends may stretch over time. Light weight fabrics such as silks and sheers can be used but cotton interlining is recommended and can be supplied by BQ. Fabrics can be railroaded on request to avoid joins or consider wide width fabrics to minimise amount of fabric required. If using a patterned fabric, railroading may not be suitable. BQ will expertly pattern match at fabric joins. For piping using striped fabrics, fabric is cut on the bias giving a diagonal stripe effect.

• Bay windows:
  If placing pelmets on a bay window, Straight, and shapes 1, 3, 4 (if centre is made straight) and 5 are available. In each instance the centre window of the bay will have a straight pelmet with shaped pelmets on both outer bay windows. Velcro tabs are supplied for butting pelmets to ensure a neat finish at the joins.

• Sizing:
  Provide width, drop and return measurements for either inside pelmet box (IBM) or outside pelmet box (OBM). Cut-outs can be added to ensure pelmet fits perfectly. Maximum drop is 40cm and maximum size of returns is 20cm. For pelmets over 390cm customer must organise own freight or collection from BQ’s Melbourne workroom. Alternatively, pelmets can be made in two or three pieces. We recommend three pieces to avoid a centre join and interruption to any fabric pattern.

Band and/or piping may be in contrast or self fabric and piping can be replaced with decorative cord.
